8 Signs You’re in a Happy Relationship (3 of 5)

4. You support each other through difficult times

Our lives are full of precious moments, but also times when we feel pain, sadness, and stress. It could be a minor disappointment like getting a “C” on a math test when you were hoping for an “A,” or something significantly disruptive like getting laid off from work or losing a beloved relative. His willingness to be there for you as you overcome your struggles is a sure sign that you’re in a happy relationship, even when the events you are experiencing aren’t so happy.

5. You Resolve Disagreements Peacefully

No relationship is going to be perfect 100% of the time, but happiness with your partner means you know how to resolve conflicts without it turning into something bigger than it needs to be. You’re able to listen to each other rather than interrupt and come away respecting each other’s position. At best, you find compromise, and at worst you simply agree to disagree and move on from the argument.
